The impact of COVID-19 on academic performance of bachelors degree students

Abstract

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic that started in Wuhan City, China, in 2020 has left the academic sector in Malaysia a total chaos. The shift from face-to-face class to full implementation of online distance learning (ODL) has brought significant changes in students' academic performance. This research aims to determine the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on students' academic performance. The study was conducted in UiTM Perlis Branch, and 54 bachelor's degree students from four faculties were invited to participate in this research. Descriptive Statistics were presented as counts and percentages to summarize the collected data. To measure the effect of COVID-19 lockdown on students' academic performance, 5-likert scale was used. The findings revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic had varying degrees of impact on students' academic performance. From an online perspective, almost all students in various faculties and semesters experienced moderate difficulties while participating in onlin.....

Domestic violence through the performance of Madonna Sin Valor

Nur Fatwa Syuhada Bahrom

Abstract

This study examines the issue of domestic violence against women in Malaysia, utilising Leo Tolstoy's theory as a foundational reference. It incorporates Bertolt Brecht's V-effect techniques to encourage critical thinking about domestic violence. By integrating these two distinct approaches, the researcher aims to evoke emotions and facilitate scrutiny and critique of domestic violence issues. The study uses qualitative methods to collect primary data through interviews, surveys, participant observations, focus group discussions, movie reels, and questionnaires. Secondary data sources such as articles, journal books, and previously published data are also utilised. The study's primary objective is to provide participants with an immersive experience of domestic violence situations, particularly in phase 1, known as "The Experience." In this phase, participants are exposed to real domestic problems to evoke their emotions and feelings regarding domestic violence. Phase 2, kno.....

Mining secondary metabolites of chassalia curviflora leaves using SIRIUS and high-resolution mass spectrometry data

Aina Syuhada Ammar

Abstract

Chassalia curviflora Thwaites is a flowering plant from Rubiaceae family. Previous phytochemical investigations on Chassalia species led to the isolation of benzoic acid, benzoquinone derivatives, flavonoids, monoterpenoid, indole alkaloids and its essential oil composition. However, these are still scarce in terms of scientific reports on the studied species. This study was carried out to investigate the fast screening of secondary metabolites by using data-dependent acquisition (DDA) LC-MS/MS analysis of methanolic extract of the leaves of C. curviflora in positive ionization mode. The data were analysed using the computational mass spectrometry method from the molecular structure database search implemented in Sirius. This led to the discovering of 13 known secondary metabolites from distinct tandem MS data. De novo molecular formula annotation and predictions from SIRIUS suggested five major class compounds classified as coumarins, benzofuran, fatty acids, esters, and triterpenes. .....
